I'm a semi-pro musician with a fair amount of expensive gear. Any suggestions for a good insurance company, to cover gigs/travelling as well as home insurance?

I thought the MU could provide this.

I use Musicguard

Everything covered at home, on the road, at gigs, in unattended vehicle, the lot. Not only my instruments and other gear covered, but also £2m PL insurance - something often overlooked by musicians.

I noticed recently that the clause covering my instrument insurance outside of the home had been changed without any notification.Worth checking your insurance to see if you are covered.

Allianz. I've never had to make a claim but I'm told by those who have that everything works exactly as they promise.

Allianz - two claims, both dealt with efficiently.
